I want you guys to take a look at this page of rookies and tell me what you see:

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?archive=false&conference=null&statisticPositionCategory=DEFENSIVE_LINEMAN&season=2010&seasonType=REG&experience=0&tabSeq=1&qualified=true&Submit=Go

What I see is this...

Suh and Alualu, two top ten picks, have been playing well. Hardy, who is a 6th rounder, has been playing just as well though, and with much less playing time.

Hardy is 1 tackle behind Alualu and just 7 behind Suh.

Hardy is .5 sacks behind Alualu and just 2 behind Suh.

Hardy and Alualu have 0 interceptions while Suh just got his first.

Hardy is the only one with a forced fumble.

Hardy is the only one with a safety.

Mccoy who was picked number 3 overall right behind Suh is being outplayed by Hardy.

Hardy is outplaying Pierre-Paul who has much more help.

Derick Morgans year is a wash since he is injured and will miss the rest of it.

Basically, we currently have the second best DE in the draft and got him in the 6th round and get to pay him much much less for a few years.

Well done!

Thanks for sharing, but I just can't get excited about stats and individual rankings, such as Godfrey's INT's, etc. I'm unable to see any silver lining. Five weeks in and the season is over.

If we played in the west we would still have a shot at the division!

The point of this stuff is to sort of say, hey, look what we can build on going forward. We are getting equal or better production out of a guy who was drafted in the sixth round, compared to a guy who went tenth overall. Even Norwood has close to the same amount of tackles as Mccoy who went third overall.

Let Hardy play more. During the last game I had to ask myself after Hardy made a nice play where he was going to be soon. If you notice, Fox has a thing with taking him out quickly shortly after he makes a nice play. I fail to understand the logic. Hardy gets a sack? Hardy sits for two drives. Hardy gets a safety? Hardy sits for a series.

There are some positives this season.

Gettis is looking like he may be that lost 2nd receiver we've been dying for.

Hardy looks capable. and scary. Like, very scary. I fear he's going to kill someone, holy crap.

Godfrey shows improvement in the passing game but still has to make some go of it.

Our LB core is beasting it up in general.

Pugh had a nice play yesterday, and maybe we'll see some more out of him in the future.

      Some people have been beaten down so long they have no standards. Can't be reasoned with.

      Getting better, might be fairly charitable. We finished 1-3 with the pressure on. That is for sure not trending up.  I don’t see a clear run of performances that prove he has taken it to another level. Not yet.  I would say he played really well in the WC game. And folded on that last series where we still had a chance. I think he threw one good ball. That last series is the kind of thing a player is supposed to learn from and not repeat. We have to see him do it before we can credit him for doing it.    I would also say he has not done enough of playing at his ceiling and what we should expect as the game in game out norm is still not established.  We gonna get MNF in SF or we gonna get the WC game? Seattle or Atlanta yardage record?   Besides that he has three years of horrendous play to start the season hanging over him. Are we going to get that again or will he be over that? We can’t know that. Mind you, that isn‘t two of three it is three of three he has yet to play well to start the year as a pro. Ofer.    So, many questions remain.    As far as weapons and help… said it before. Fix the OL so we can protect him.  It is time for a 1.1 pick in his 4th season, third year in the same offense, to elevate the players we have given him. You can’t keep up the level of investment dedicated to propping him up, you have to prop up the defense too and get some balance.

      Yeah, just got back to the house from doing some actual work, hopefully they create some better chances in the second half. 3-1 looks tough for you
